A woman was left shocked after one of her neighbors left threatening letters on her apartment door complaining about her dogs barking.
Davina Simona, from Sherwood, Brisbane, was amazed to find notes from an anonymous local giving her a ‘final warning’ about her pets’ behaviour.
“If you insist on having dogs (especially a large one) in a space the size of a large toilet, get those stupid brainless mutts each with a bark collar and show some consideration for others,” one angry comment read .
The other note called her XL bully and mini dachshund “bastards” and said it was her “last warning” to get them under control.
“Fix it or report it to the authorities,” the neighbor scribbled on a notepad.
Ms Simona told Daily Mail Australia she had no idea who was behind the angry letters because her immediate neighbors ‘love our dogs’.

She said she took a number of precautions to prevent her dogs’ barking from bothering her neighbors, including using anti-bark collars while she was out of the house.
However, a few days before she received the angry notes, she had tried leaving the collar off for a while to see if her dogs’ behavior had changed at all.
“Obviously this didn’t work, so every time I’m not home I put it back on,” she said.
Ms Simona was confused by the notes so posted them on a local Facebook group, prompting a local to send her an angry message.
This person said it was his grandfather who sent the anonymous letters.
Mrs. Simona was stunned by this revelation because, as far as she knew, neither she nor her dogs had ever had problems with an older man.
“You took to Facebook to threaten an old man who doesn’t use Facebook, with your stupid big dogs and those little dachshunds, and that crying child all the time,” the irate resident wrote her.
“I know all about your backyard and where you live.”

They added that they would report Ms Simona to “the authorities” if the dogs continued to bark
Ms Simona said she did not want to feel like “we are walking on eggshells in our own home”, adding: “The whole situation is such a mystery and I want to get to the bottom of it.”
She also revealed that she had been in contact with her immediate neighbors and asked them to contact her if they heard the dogs barking so she could come home.
As for the hurtful comments about the size of her unit, she admitted that “living conditions are not ideal for our biggest boy.”
‘I’m a huge animal lover… It’s a home after all. We would like to have a large home within our budget again.’
She added that her XL bully, Zeus, was “the sweetest and affectionate boy” who was complimented for his behavior by “everyone who encountered him.”
